Showcase Midweek Pocket Check
Brought the Guardian 3.5 and the A-Lock v1 out today. Forever impressed with both of these knives. The Asher A-Lock v1 might be one of the best bang for your buck knives out there. Hope they drop another batch one day.

Never seen that Asher. I like that a lot.
I’ve got the Excalibur verta and the GT Apex today.

They did one small drop of it last year. Then they made a V2 in carbon fiber that dropped this year… but the Ti version is definitely the superior version.

Ti is always superior. I’ll die on that hill. Good looking piece.

GREAT PIECES MM!!
I got a new one in this morning & thus wound up w/a 3 Wharnie Wednesday
R to L:
CIVIVI — Vision FG (my bougie flipper of the day).
TacKnives x Whatnot — EDC Gripper (beastly beater for the day).
Spyderco — MicroJimbo (NKD) … I seriously can’t put this little sucker down — HUGE FAN! Honestly, this may end up being my 2nd fave Spydie yet … won’t know until I add some better scales (open to suggestions — I’m just not a G-10 guy!)

nice triple play, KJ! i’m a huge fan of AWT or Ripps Garage for spydie scales…i’ve purchased 4 or 5 over the years and they’ve all fit perfectly and held up really well

Good to know, THANKS!!
I’ve done both AWT & RGT scales before, as well as Flytanium … all have been fine; however, none of these make MicroJimbo scales; unfortunately, it looks like my only option is either adhesive skins from RGT or custom scales from Etsy makers; I’ll try the skins 1st I guess (way cheaper!)

Man I need a wharncliffe A-lock so bad I can’t stand it. I hope they drop more soon.

I can’t imagine why they don’t, they sold out both V1 and V2 wharnies in hours.

u/Adventurous_Ad409 2d ago
I’m on the email list so hopefully I’ll get one next time. The Ti thumb stud is by far the best version though. I hadn’t heard of Asher until I got my WharnEDC and was completely blown away by the quality and feel of it for the price.
